Getting Ready For Your Senior Portrait

There are several things that make a photo look great, and one of the most important is the subject--YOU! In order for us to take pictures that truly express your personality and show off what you love, we need your help. Here are a few tips for looking just right on your photo day!

Choose your clothes wisely

This is important. You want to choose clothes that you are comfortable in while expressing you personal style.

Choose outfits that look put together; without any distracting elements (no logos or loud patterns and colors, no wording) that you feel express how you want to be remembered, but have a touch of class. Avoid see-through clothing, strapless outfits, and spaghetti straps as your yearbook may have regulations against these. Simple is usually better, and accessories are a must for girls.﻿

Be sure you dress fromhead to toe and wear clean shoes, but bring a pair of easy slip on shoes that are okay walking in, to help keep them clean during your shoot.﻿

Make your clothing changes simple. You don't want to change all of your clothes for every change. We suggest bringing 1 formal outfit and the rest of your outfits be quick changes in casual clothes. For example: bring 2 shirts, one pair of jeans, and a different over shirts or jacket. You can get several different looks with only a few simple changes.

Choose Props & Accessories

Our seniors have brought in anything from trombones to footballs to their pets!

We can even arrange to go to the pool, track, or golf course if you want action shots of you doing what you love. But it doesn't have to be music or sports, or even school related. If you love comic books or reading, bring books. If you love your pet, they can be in the photos too. Everybody has something. Show off what your something is!﻿

Look Great!

Get yourself made up and looking as clean and put together as possible. Guys should groom facial hair and cut and clean their fingernails. Girls should get their hair, makeup and nails done. We recommend Heads Up Salon in the Southlands if you decide to do this professionally, however, you are welcome to do it yourself. and we are sure you will look fabulous!
